Team17 is best known for its Worms games, but way back in the day it made a top-down shooter called Alien Breed for Amiga computers. Last week the developer announced it is reviving Alien Breed for digital release on Xbox Live Arcade. Speaking to gamesindustry.biz, Team 17 studio director Martyn Brown says Alien Breed Evolution will actually be a trilogy. And with development costs at around $2.5 million, it will be one of the most expensive downloadable games to date.

Alien Breed is a shoot 'em up that can be likened to Alien Syndrome or Gauntlet. Part one of Evolution should be released this October and will include around 15 hours of gameplay.
